Extra Large, Large and Medium Baren
Standard Quality Baren
This group of baren are constructed of lacquered cardboard disks with bamboo sheath covers. The texture of all of them is fine to medium.
Because of price, many printmakers start with the Medium Baren (A6208). However, the Large Baren (A6209) is more effective, because it has a stiffer shin (coil) and it is large enough to resist dipping into cleared spaces on the block, making clean, even and rapid printing more possible. The Extra Large Baren (A6210) is good for printing very large blocks.
The synthetic twine coil in the Extra Large and Large Baren, which is much stiffer than the paper coil used in the Medium Baren, allow these larger Baren to transfer the pressure from your arm more efficiently so you can pull a good print with less work.
These inexpensive baren are excellent for students and beginning printmakers.
A free sample of Camellia Oil is included with each Baren.
